the bridge. Bussey bridge
was built fifteen years ago and during
the past ten years has been repaired
three times. Workmcn have becn
busily engaged all day in removing
the debris from the street and from
the embankments. The wreck is so
complete that no attempt was made
TO save any portion of the train. Ad-
ditional evidences were found OF the
terrible nature of the disaster at late
hour as the work of removing the
wreck progressed. In some places
were fragments of flesh or pieces OF
clothes which had belonged to some
victim whose remains had previously
been removed. There was blood over
everything. Most of the pieces OF
clothing found were from garments of
women, and the fatality among them
was proportionately greater. In one
place the bodies of seven were taken
out. all horribly mangled. A pitiful
sight was that Of two girls with their
arms around one another clinging to-

der to free persons who were
pinioned in the wreck. In two cases
it was necessary to cut bodies in two
in order to get them out. They
were already crushed out OF any re-
semblance to the human shape and
so thoroughly wedged in that they
could be removed in no other way.
An old lady was taken from the car
uninjured with her clothing torn to
shreds. She said the women in the
Car seemed to be panic stricken ut the
moment the crash came. She
saw one woman dying in
Der seat, while another woman
had her head pillowed on the dying
woman's breast. The headless trunk
of woman was found lying across the
timbers in the street under the bridge
with one arm completely gone and the
lower limbs all cut and mangled. The
head was found among the tangled
iron and fragments of the car n few
feet away. One man was seen to walk
from the wreck in the direction OF
Roslindale after the wreck, and when
he had gone Il dozen yards he fell dead
either from excitement or internal in
iuries. Everybody seemed dazed and
could not realize what had occurred.
Daniel Rourdy, of Roslindale, had the
most remarkable experience. He
was in the smoking car playing cards
with Ed. Snow, Harry Gay, and Ser
geant Laillers, The crash came and
the next thing he knew he was in the
muddy street uninjured and holding
the queen of diamonds which was
covered with blood. His three COM
panions had all been killed.
